Clear Braces vs. Metal Braces: Which is Right for You?
Today’s braces are not what they used to be, and that is great news for anyone considering orthodontic treatment! Clear braces and traditional metal braces both offer exceptional results, but the right choice depends on your preferences and lifestyle.
- Clear or Ceramic Braces: These braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural smile. They are perfect if you want a discreet treatment option.
- Metal or Traditional Braces: Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. They are also highly effective for complex orthodontic cases.
Our team will guide you through the pros and cons of each option to help you make the best decision for your smile goals.
Pediatric Orthodontics: Building Smiles from the Ground Up
Orthodontic care is not just for teens and adults. Early evaluations and treatments can set children up for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. Pediatric orthodontics focuses on guiding jaw growth, correcting bite issues and creating space for incoming permanent teeth.
Our two-phase treatment is especially beneficial for kids. In phase one, we address early developmental issues, and in phase two, we perfect alignment once all permanent teeth are in place. This approach ensures your child’s smile is both functional and stunning.
Clear Aligners: The Discreet Way to Straighten Teeth
If you have been putting off orthodontic care because you are worried about the appearance of braces, we have good news. Clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth, and our office offers several options to meet your needs:
- In-House Clear Aligners: Designed and created right here in our office, these aligners offer a personalized, budget-friendly solution.
- Invisalign® vs. 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners: Both are excellent options for straightening your teeth discreetly, but each has its unique advantages. The Invisalign® system is a well-known choice with years of proven results, while 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners are a fantastic alternative that combines comfort and effectiveness.
- Clear Aligners for Adults and Teens: Whether you are a busy professional or a self-conscious teen, clear aligners are a flexible option that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. They are removable, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine without hassle.
